Taking family on vacation is NOT an escape!! That is where many people have gone wrong.
Of course Hashem wants us to relax, listen to music, play sports etc
BUT! Are we doing it Leshem Shomayim? That is the main thing.
Therefore, as long as we do things in a way which Hashem would want us to do, such as:
Music- Jewish Music
Sports- so we are healthier. Why do we want to be healthier? To serve Hashem better!
When we go on holiday, we are not escaping from the world. We are doing a mitzvah by seeing how special Hashem has made the world. We are creating stronger relationships with our family.
The list can go on!
But a vacation as long as it is done Leshem Shomayim in a kosher way then Hashem will be happy.
Hashem just wants that everything we do is done in a way that we have a relationship with him.
When we are at work- it is done honestly.
When we tie our shoe laces!
When we come out the bathroom- we say Asher Yatsar.
So you might ask> Hashem is co cruel he made a world so we just thank him the whole time.
Not true! It’s just the relationship he wants!
He made us! He just wants a kesher, so we live properly and with fulfilment.
So back to the movie question: Are you watching it because you want to escape or you need to relax a bit to serve Hashem with more strength?
Is this the best way you could fulfil these objectives?
